Report of 22 Sept 2019
Good afternoon!
A certain young husband is sitting on the sofa opposite me in a new shirt, and has turned 58 today. We are supposed to wear new clothes on our birthdays. We bought this cotton shirt from a vendor at the market I have mentioned before and Scott likes it. Cotton is great for this weather.
We are well. We are struggling with bed sores at the Banyan. I have asked for assistance from a local surgeon and their hospital's nursing team and they have agreed to come. Each medical speciality has a unique niche; mine is not prevention or treatment of bed sores. We need to learn it for the benefit of our patients and we are happy someone is willing to come and teach us.
Some rains landed this week, probably ahead of the monsoon. On one Adaikalam day, they were blinding and so, I worked from home that day. We welcome rains and must prepare for them; many roads get waterlogged, potholes are not visible and I try not to drive then.
Kovalam was fine last week. We were - as usual - overrun with patients and that got a bit exhausting. Many social issues, which I must deal with right along with medical. Fortunately, there are other personnel present who can assist when they are not similarly overrun. It truly is a fine place, the B: the joy of working with those who would unflinchingly do for others is only revealed and magnified when working in environments where that does not happen.
Scott and I toodled into town yesterday, had a sumptuous lunch with our friends, Joan and Mohanraj, and M's brother, Manoraj. It was a fine time. Then we went to see a play. It was at "Museum Theatre," a theatre adjoining the Government museum. Scott is a huge fan of museums; I am not always. The mood has to be just right, I usually pick areas that I want to see and appreciate clear explanations that I can read quickly. We went through this museum as we had a lot of time before the play and I was impressed. So much beauty in our own backyard. We will likely go back there.
The play was fine and it was good to see the director, who unfailingly does a fine job. His young and pretty wife was also there, which was nice. I enjoyed half the play, it being bedtime at intermission; the 2nd half was fine, also. We saw many of Naren's friends in the cast and that is always a joy.
Speaking of joys, we hung out with both boys today, which was a nice start to Scott's birthday. Lots of chatter and laughter. I will speak with my father later today; I am writing here earlier than usual as I had to grab the chance to blog while the Internet was on, it had been on the fritz earlier.
It is a fine profession to be in. I am glad and privileged to be in it, as I am to have studied in the United States and returned to take care of the people here.
